Torizon OS - Easy-to-use Industrial Linux Platform (2025)

Easy-to-use Industrial Linux Software Platform

Torizon OS (formerly TorizonCore) is an open-source software platform that simplifies the development and maintenance of embedded Linux software. It is designed to be used out-of-the-box on devices requiring high reliability, allowing you to focus on your application and not on building and maintaining the operating system.

Highly Productive Modern Software Development

Install Torizon OS in one click with the preinstalled Toradex Easy Installer. A Graphical User Interface (GUI) and Debian containers with APT Package Manager get you started in minutes. An extending selection of development tools such as the Flash Analytics tool helps to build reliable products fast.

Torizon OS is open-source and built with the Yocto Project based on the Toradex Embedded Linux BSP, which enables further customization.

Supported Languages

Torizon offers full integration with Visual Studio 2019, providing a convenient way to use a Windows development PC and familiar tools while at the same time giving you the advantages of the rich Linux ecosystem. Toradex continues to support Windows Embedded Compact / WinCE, but for a developer who wishes to move to Linux, Visual Studio with Torizon is an excellent choice.

The Visual Studio extension currently supports C / C++ including on-device debugging. For developers new to containers on embedded devices, the extension can automatically package the application in a container and offer a web-based frontend to manage software containers on the device.

Visual Studio Code is a free, highly popular IDE which runs on Windows, Linux and Mac. The Torizon extension provides tight integration with Visual Studio Code. The extension offers simple container management and on-device debugging, and it lets you deploy applications from Visual Studio Code in just a few clicks. Visual Studio Code and Torizon are a very modern and productive environment even for developers new to embedded systems.

For Visual Studio Code, Toradex supports C/C++, Python and .NET Core. Python is rapidly growing in popularity — even in the embedded market — which means that a large pool of developers is available. Python is also the dominant language for machine learning applications. .NET Core is a modern, future-proof option for C# programmers wanting to target any platform, including embedded systems.
